Earlier I said, I do believe the original statement is true, so I was not picking on Liam or his experience.

I don't think it is fair to define what is love, for others as I think it can be and mean different things for each person.

I think there are lot of gray areas, thus I also said I don't think it is that simple. Anyway, Steve is probably right:-), we could debate folk and love for many, many threads!

Rose, you are right about your niece, but it will also be sad for your sister as she won't have that friendship of intimacy with her partner once her daughter moves out. This happens frequently. One parent is engaged full time with the kids, and when they are all gone, they and their partner are strangers to one another, trying to pick up where they left off before children. Good for you and your partner for recognising this.

Ana, Arohanui is Hawaiian? What does it mean? It is a beautiful word.

Thanks,
